Tired and run down facility. Thin walls with little insulation in cold weather mean rivers of condensation running down the windows each morning and mould buildup in wet areas.

No hot water for 4 out of 5 days and inadequate old heating system- in the middle of winter! Insufficient washing machines/dryers for a large complex, we needed to wash soccer clothing everyday and we had to hand wash in the room with no poor heating to dry clothing, 2 washing machines always in use and 1 dryer out of 2 wasn’t working. The staff did try to assist with the hot water issue but the entire system needs to be changed over to continuous hot water. Very frustrating when you pay $900 to stay for 5 nights and you can’t have a hot shower in the middle of winter!

Satisfactory place to stay
This is a good, practical place to stay with all the required facilities. It is well-presented and a short drive from places to eat. I have stayed here before and been very satisfied. This time there were plumbing problems and the reception is open only restricted hours which failed to match with my working times so I couldn't inform them.

Rooms are a decent size and bedding etc is good. Had hot plates so you could cook. However the appliances were appalling, kettle was louder than a plane taking off. Toaster wasn't wide enough to actually cook anything - tiffany brand please don't bother. Hairdryer also Tiffany brand was useless. Does have good amenities such as a pool, tennis court and laundry.

Very disappointing. Room was definitely not as pictured. Used tissues behind the bed, mould on ceiling, ant infestation in shower, bench top oven didn’t work, exfoliating glove in place to stop shower leak. Staff were nice and the pool was kept clean, that was a positive.

No internet for our entire stay No air conditioning and the filter on it looks like it has not been cleaned in years. Thank god it was not 35 degrees as is normal at this time of the year. No information on places to go things to do around Canberra and surrounding area. We were given a wrist band and told we had to wear it the duration of our stay which was 5 days. Spider webs on the roof. My daughter husband and kids all so stayed in one of your rooms, wait till you get her review as her room was totally disgusting. Will we be back next year ? Defiantly Will we book your motel again ? Defiantly not

It felt like we were out in the country but in reality, we were about 17 minutes from Parliament House. It was a one bedroom unit obviously recently cleaned because bathroom was still wet. Out only concern was that the bedding was not warm enough for the freezing cold nights and there was no heating in the bedroom, only the living areas.

I have been staying here for a number of years with family. We visit my mother in a nursing home in Redhill. It is a good place for us all to be together and close to the home. I would like to see more kitchen utensils and saucepans.

Being the middle of winter and getting down to -3 deg over night, the room was bitterly cold. 1 thin blanket is insufficient. Even though we had the heater on all night, my entire family were extremely cold and had terrible sleep/ non sleep because of it. More blankets or quilts are definitely required.
